\T1RNOST A PAMATKA VZPOMINKACH Nedavno jsme detli v jednom americkem liste pojednani ktere tvrdilo, tie elor, vek i v techto nynej gich svetogch zmatcich muze si zachovat klidnou dugevni rovnovahu, jestlitie v gechno posuzuje s rozurnem, a netrapi se stim, co se zmenit neda a neni v jeho moci, a obiyra se Mayne jen utegenej gimi strankami tiivota. Kladl se duraz na to, tie vzpominky jsou potegitelne stranky na geho tiivota.

Je snad velkou chybou, tie v tom shonu nageho tivota na v gechno tak rychle zapomina.me Je ov gem v torn nagem tiivote tolik dojnya a toho spechu, tie jeden dojem rychle vytlaeu j e druhY a ty neutegene zjevy a zmatky nas dasto zarmouti. Nekdy to vg e na nas ptisobi, tie ztracime zkjem i to, co nas kdysi tegivalo. asto si vg ak pripomenme, tie prave vzpominky jsou vzknYm darem tiivota a tak drahocenYm, nebot' bez nich bychom zapomeli vge to co krasneho za ty leta bylo zde v to na gi nove vlasti vykonano a nazmar by pfi glo mnohe ponaueeni.

Kandy z nas rad ete pameti osob z ininulYch dob pon.evadti ntajdeme v nich mnoho, co, nas povznese, poudi a pavzbudi. Zvlagte nas vkly zajimalo, jak ty nase prokopnici zde v nove vlasti Shledavame, ze ternef kaidSr kdo dosahl Uspechu, mel tetike zaeatky a musel prekonati mnohe pfekatiky, kladene mu v Icestu chudobou a nekdy i nevratiivosti. Jenor odvaha a vytrvalost a vira daly mu zviteziti nad nepfizni pomeril nmozi dnes, aneb jiz jejich ditky se tegi. s Uspecht osob, ktere zastali nam prikladem k nasledovani.

Vefirne pevne v to, ze vzpominky, nage dejiny, historie nagich iadu, nagi Jednoty, meli by bYti okvovany pro poudeni Irak mladetii. To meli jsme na mysli kdy2 vzporninali jsme, — ze yzacnYar darem tivota jsou ty na ge vzpominky, tie bychom se meli vzaj enine povzbuzovat a v osvetieni pameti, na to krasne nadgeni pfi to praci narodni, bychom tat nagli povzbuzeni i novou posilu.

Malo kterY z na gich mlad gich elenti dnes chape, jak velkou oporou techto nagich zaeateenikil byl jim nog fad nag Jednoty v krajine nevyvinute s polodivokou prirodou, ktere, musila bYti nejprve prozkoumana aby mohla poskytnouti vYtiivu: pionYrum. Tehdy schilze nagich fadu slouZily jak spoledenske stfedisko kde katidY ye spolednosti ostatnich pookfal a mel i tez priletitost k gmene zku genosti v zapasu o denni chleb.

Do nagich radu byli zvani ti, kteri jell ze stare vlasti aby se seznamili s celou osadou a ziskali pottebne poueeni.

Zde na gli i potechu a posilu a pratelske povzbuzeni..

V prostYch zabavach v tech na'Sich skromnYch sinich povznagelo se srdce p11 poradanYch prograrnech a riiznYch podnikti. — Tehdy, vzpomerime, se stavely nag e radave sine z obetavosti a z Lasky.

Proto ty na ge vzpominky jsou nam mile a drake. Jsou na gi patechou a nachazime v nich posilu i kdyti pfichazeji do tiivota hospodarske tisne, 'Spatne doby a vgelijake nesnaze.

Vzpominejme tedy vdeene na vgechno to ,dobro co nage Jednota za dobu sveho pusobeni vykonala mezi nami. Povzbuzovala i tu nagi osadni a kulturni dinnost kde jen bylo mono a v tech vzpominkach upevnime v na gich srdcich tu lasku, jeti nas povede k tomu, abychom v tomto roce °pet vykonali svuj dil k dosatieni na gi kvoty v dlenstvi i pajigteni, kterou jsme si vytkli.

Rozgifujeme znamost sve Jednoty nejen doma, ye sve osade, tale i vgude tarn ,kde nahodou zavitame. Zdurazilujeme jeji spolehlivost a ziskavejme ji svoji primluvou pratele i nove eleny a tu nasi mladeti. — A neprestavejme vzpominat na ty, kteti v minulosti pro rozkvet nagi S.P.J.S.T. tolik vykonali.

Bratri a sestry ye vgech nagich milYch Mach po celem Tex' asu„ 'lady nagich stargich kahlYm mesicem ridnou Kde kdo pfilozil ruku k dilu nepo- zi nara dobrYch pracovnikt.

Wednesday, July 19, 1961 GET THEM TO STAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL The summer vacation for school students will soon be half over an it is not too early to start thinking about returning to classes (that is for some).

Some teen-age boys and girls readily see that finishing high school is a must!

But far too many young people will make the unfortunate decision — not to return to high school in . the fall. So, if you know a youngster who is talking about dropping out of high school, see if you can convince him or her to stay on and graduate.

There are some pretty good argumentt in favor of a full high school education.

Here are taree: 1. High School graduates get better jobs than "dropouts." 2_ They g o farther in their careers. 3. They earn more money, especially in the long run.

Besides, the graduate derives a great deal of personal satisfaction from having a diploma -- and there is also much to be said for the experience and knowledge gained from a full ;nigh school education.

There are probably numbers of people today who have the impression that ‘i; ;est kids finish up high school." But t eat is not true oily two out of three wt:o; start high school finish the course.

Yerriairsters drop out of high school mainly because they are dissatisfied; there are relatively few who are forced to do so because of family financial difficulties. These boys and girls are apt to be behind in school, a grade or more -and that doesn't help in tioeir relations with others their own age. Many are poor readers, and as a result cannot work up 'much enthusiasm for their sobjeets. So, 16 or so, when state eduat the age cation laws permit, they leave school quietly and hunt for a job.

a

They find work sooner or later, but as might be expected among inexperienced people, many first jobs are of a type wtere there are a few opportunities for advancement, such as filling station attendants, retail clerk or delivery truck driver. However, sizable numbers of "dropouts" do manage to obtain factory work of a semi-skilled nature.

High school graduates also start at the bottorm of the ladder, but they climb the rungs more easily. In checking the fortunes of several thousand young peo✓ ple; the U.S. Burea!u of Labor Statistics found that high school graduates get jobs more quickly than those who did not graduate. It was also found that the graduate was less apt to be hit by unemployoDent.

Studies by the U.S. Bureau of Census make clear that education affects earning power. They Oraw a sharp picture of what education means to a man's income

ST ES T N i — WEST, TEXAS

over his entire lifetime: 1. A man with only a grade school education currently has a prospective lifetime income of $178,000 2. A man who completes high school but goes no further, has a prospective lifetime income of $243,000.

3. A ma,n who has been to college for four years or longer has a prospective lifetime income of $347,000.

Of course, earning power varies from one person to another, and there are instances where a Lien with a minimum of formal education nas made his mark in the world. But this is the exception; for most people, progress is tied in with schooling, particularly as our society becomes more and more complex and needs an increasing number of technicians of all kinds.

• a • ( GIRLS URGED TO SEEK MORE TRAINING Close to one million girls have newly received their diplomas in high schools across the country. Alt'ivough many will go to college or to other schools, graduation ceremonies for most will mark the end of their formal education.

But should it stop there?

All the evidence suggests that, when at all possible, a. girl should . seek further training. It will help her find a better job than her les.s skilled classmates, and at a higher income. Even if she leaves her job after she marries and begins to raise a family, there is a goad chance boat she will think about jobhunting when she reaches her 40's. The skills she learns in her teens can prove thieir value a second time.

The Woman's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor points out that the girl graduate will need more education and training than in the past.

"The coming decade will witness the creation of i rany new job.s and the revision of old ones, as technological and scientific advances change office, laboratory and factory procedures and equipment," says the Bureau.

"The occupations expected to expand the most — professional, technical, clerical, sales and skilled occupations — are those which generally require a considerable amount of formal preparation."

Strom 1:

data processing, and there are also special commercial schools which provide pre-employment training, usually with evening as well as day classes.

For those who think they may like technical work, there are growing opportunities for girls to became industrial laboratory technicians, chemical aid analysts, and cirought.9.•Den. Education jfor these jobs is usually obtained in technical institutes and junior colleges, but some girls have obtained a head start in their education at a technical high school, vocational school or even `through correspondence courses, in drafting, mechanical drawing and blueprint readin,g.

Beauty culture and commercial art appeal to women, and can be learned at a school. There are many private schools and public vocational schools offering (formal training in cosmetology; in some states apprentice training while at work in a beauty shop is accepted as the equivalent of a formal course. All but two states require beauty operators to • take an approveid examination in order to obtain a license for employment.

Courses in commercial art are given by private schools and institutes and by some vocational high schools; before being enrolled students are generally asked to demonstrate that they have artisic ability. Tnere are also fashion design courses at private schools and a number -of vocational high sChools.

Health work has always appealed to women, and tiiiere have long been forirel training courses for such health workers as registered nurses, dental hygienists and x-ray tevf.-ulicians. But them are new opportunities for girls to become practical nurses and medical laboratory workers.

Licensed practical nurses today usually have to take a formal course, which may range from 9 to 18 months. Public school systems operate over half the 'training programs accredited by state boards of nursing. The balance are sponsored by hospitals, health agencies, junior colleges and universiteis, or coinlnunity organizations,, * 4116 Coal and 'diamonds are each almost Pure carbon, a pearl and oyster shell are • each pure calcium, but what a difference!

Likewise, men may be similar in their physical properties, needs and backgrounds . One may be a benefactor of the human race, and the other a worthless bum.

• •

One of the most exciting possibilities for girls who are thinking about office work is using the new electronic computers and related equipment. Manufacturers of these devices maintain training centers in large cities. Another training approach' is through the schools.

Likely, more children would follow An increasing number of universiteis and colleges, particularly two-year colleges, their parents, if they only knew where are offering basic courses in electronic they were.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK How Much Will Insurance Cost?

The cost of Life Insurance depends on who's paying it, — If you are paying it ray friend, it doesn't cost much at all.

A few dollars each month — dollars that very likely you would spend for some.else if they wcrn't used to buy youe oce insurance.

`,\

But if your family pays for life in' Suranee. it costs, so much more.

Life insurance might cost a home that had to be sold because your widow could chord the mort gage 'payments.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Insvorance might cost a college q that your boy or girl wanted "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the . , cry badly.

Important After a conference held by the editor and the officers of our Supreme Lodge it was agreed, that our Vestnik will no longer publish pictures of brides, wedding anniversaries, graduates, or any other picture of members NOT PERTAINING DIRECTLY TO OUR LODGE WORK and INSURANCE SALES This was brought about due to the constantly rising cost of 'having cuts made of these photographs and returning original photographs to the membership.

It was further decided that all matter mailed to your Editor must be co y -erdbyfulpostage,ndymateril such as pictures, which you wish returned, must have full postage coverage I enclosed for its return.

Photographs with letters enclosed, must so state on the cover, otherwise, they, go first class the most expensive way. A better practice is to attach letter to the envelope containing the photograph; then the postage is cheaper.

We all know that the cost of living has gone up, as has postage, and it's just good business management to watch all costs, and cut expenses whereever possible. That is what has made us what we are today, — prudent management.

Any other mail matter where the postage is not fully prepaid, will be returned by the Post Office to the sender.

Sunday, July 9, the Youth Club of Lodge Elk, No 35, held their regular monthly meeting in advance of the adult Meeting, to• present their Mother Lodge with a 24 cup coffeeniaker which they purchased with their money liqade through their efforts; to plan an all-day Picnic in the very near future, and to show the progress they are making on their money making preice la Swedish weaving hand towels which they plan to sell in a special booth sometime in 1922.

They plan to ►riake some other articles also.

Judging from the samples shown which they already had finished, their booth will be a sell-out for the towels are things of beauty, for color combinations and evenness of the stitching.

While the girls embroidery, the boys will make ash trays. Alas, boys are always behind the girls when it comes to getting things done. So again the invitaton was extended that more boys come to these workshops of the Youth in the Elk Lodge.

The last meeting was held Wednesday, night, July 13, at 8:00 p.m. Their Youth Leader, Mrs. Ruby Zalman was in charge.

Mrs. Zalman is well qualified to lead young people, having worked with them so many years. This year she is very active in the Campfire Girls, so, she is skilled in crafts.

While the youth work on their project, the 3 and 4-year-olds play with modeling clay, so that fun is had by all.

Those who presented their handiwork at the Meeting were: Betty Joyce Pavelka, Janie Kathryn Pavelka, Linda Woods, Cynthia Woods, Kathy Zalman, Mae Zalman, Linda Kay Pavelka, Elaine Pavelka, Carolyn Bordovsky and Dale Pavelka.

When asked why they didn't display some of this beautiful work at the recent Youth Activity Day, they answered that they had nothing finished at that time but that next year they would display some of this beautiful work.

They are keeping a scrapbook, too, Which will became a Lodge History Book, someday. One would never realize just how much activity a Lodge has until it is all braught together in a binder to review and compare.

They are a very busy group of folks at Elk, looking to the future, and Vestnik is happy to tell its readers about them.

Strana, 13 Until two and a half years ago, Elk Lodge was dreaming contentedly in its past glories, but a group of the younger lodge brothers were given the reins to try to do something with the Hall and its doldrums. They did.

Their Saturday night dances are popular and well attended. To them this is a business project: they make everyone ,feel most welcome.

Each Carlmittee Chairman with his assistants have their jobs cut out for them and they all know just what to do . Incidentally, they all worked without remuneration of any kind. That's what it takes to make a project successful — all equally important and no one draws any pay for his part in the whole picture.

Since taking over, this group of younger men have, through their committees, enlarged, repaired, remodeled the Hall.

Now they are well on their way. They have shown that cooperation, hard work willingness to work under someone for the good of all (self discipline) can do wonders to awaken a dreaming Lodge. ' They are a beehive of activity, both in the adult as well as the Youth group.

It is self understood even though specifically not mentioned, that the Elk sisterhood works and stands behina the lodge brothers. They work just as hard.

It is a known fact that there is a woman behind every successful man!

Through the association of other Lodges and their membership, this Lodge or any Lodge, grows — for it is here that new ideas and methods are observed and then tried at home This eliminates monotony of entertainment. The Elk triembership can be seen at all local Lodge functions as well as the District. They have got the ball rolling now and promise to give the other Lodges a run for their money for the top third in this District. Congratulations and good Luck. ) 4 4. •

Sacky, Lodge 79, Corpus Christi, right after him is Brother Chas. Holasek, Lodge 56, Corpus Christi, who wrote one application for $20,000.00 and next to him Sister Melba Novosad, Lodge 168, Jourdanton. As you see, they are very close. There is no doubt that Brother Frank C. Sacky will try his best to keep his place, and Brother Chas. Holasek will do everything possible to catch him. As for Sister Melba Novosa;d, I'd like tb add that she, as a new organizer, has shown to be very qualified for this kind of work. I have been agreeably surprised, and because she said that this was just the starting, I think she will fight for the title "Organizer No. 1" in District Seven.

A very important fact is that among it active organizers are five newly appcinted sisters and brothers (Sister Melba Novosad, Sister Tillie Valchar, and Brothers E. . JGaydos, Frank Machart and L. F. Pustejovsky). Let's hope that in the next list we will read also names of the other new organizers as well as old organizers who for unknown reasons are a little behind.

We had better remember that there is a state contest between Districts 1, 2, 6 and 7, against Districts 3. 4, and 5 for this year. The opposition at the present time is 2 to 1 ahead of us, so we really will have to dig in and work hard. However we must not get discouraged because there is still plenty of time left and we can and will come up on top.

It's not the start that counts but the finish, so let's get, to work and finish up in a big way.

Here is the District One record for the first six months of this year.

LODGE NO. 84 SOFTBALL TEAM Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Thursday night, July 6, we were supposed to play Mayhew Machinery to 'determine the first-half championship in the Wednesday Night League. We won the game, 7-0 as a result of a forfeit as Mayhew had only eight players show up.

So, we won the first-half Central League Championship, and we will have to play the second-half winner to determine the League Ohaor4pionship at the end of the play in the second half.

Monday night we played Commodity Credit Corporation and we had our Winning streak of 15 games broken, as we lest by a score of 8 to 5. It was just one of those games, the defense and the pitching both were not up to par and consequently we lost. We had two bad innings and they had only one bad inning.

Wes Jaska was on the mound for us, allowing seven hits, one walk and he struck out six batters. We committed five errors and with better support we might have won.

Wilbur Munger was Jaska's battery mate behind the plate.

Our leading hitters were: Ted Dusek, Jr., who hit a home run with the bases loaded and Bob spoor who also blasted a home run. Paul Valenta also had a hit; Ben Jarma walked twice; Bob Spoor, Paul Valenta, Leonard Drozd and Wilbur Munger all walked once.

We had a very large turnout at the game: our thanks for your presence.

Tuesday night we played a makeup game with Campbell Appliances and we lost a very close galtie by, a score of 2 W9 behind, the two-hit pitching of Frank Mach III. He gave up tour walks and struck out six batters, a very fine performance for his first effort on the mound this season.

Adolph Janecka turned in a fine performance behind the plate. It was a well played game, only we couldn't muster up a hitting attack to get in some runs. We

Wednesday, July 19, 1961. could only garner two hits, one each by Jody Rejcek and Leonard Drozd. Ted Dusek, Jr., had a sacrifice hit and Albin (Bino) Vrana and Paul Valenta got on base via walks. That about summs up our offensive attack. We had a large and 'enthusiastic group of supporters at the game. We want to thank you all for your presence and your cheering.

Wednesday night, July 12, we played Ling Electric and we lost another thriller by a score of 2 to 1. Guess we lost our rabbit's foot or something, anyway, the boys all played a real good game as no errors were committed.

Wes Jaska hurled a real fine game allowing four hits, no walks and struck out nine batters.

Wilbur Munger caught a real good game.

Our leading hitters were: Ted Dusek With two hits and he drove in our one run; Albin Vrana with one hit; Raymond Smith, one hit; Frank Mach, II, one hit; Wesley Jaska, one hit, and Wilbur Munger one hit. Jody Rejcek had a walk and Raymond Smith had a sacrifice hit. A couple of hits at the right tine would have meant victory for us.

We had a real large group of fans at the game. Your presence was most welcome.

Monday night July 17, we playe,d Otis Engineering. Wednesday night, July 19 'we play Mayhew Machine Co., gametime 7:30 p.m. and both games will be played at Samuel's Diamond No 2.

The position I have been put in, it is my obligation to give others news about your lodge activity. As you know a lodge that doesn't work will not last. `Enthusiasorr; and 'Togetherness' will succeed. You all keep 'going forward. We know it takes figuring and hard work to meet obligations. We've looked over Elk before you became active, and not to hurt anyone's feelings, but to say the least it looks so much better now with your newly redecorated hall and neat appearance all over.

I also would like to thank your good reporter for keeping your lodge activities before the public. Give your young folks all the attention you can for they will be yourfuture lodge. I thank you."

Brother Zalman then thanked Brother Hosek for his fine words and thanked everyone for coining that did come out, as there was heavy rain in the Elk area on Sunday morning and afternoon.

One of our active members, Brother Henry Rendek suffered a heart attack in the early evening at our dance Saturday night. He was rushed to Hillcrest Hospital immediately and it was reported he was very ill. Your reporter will keep you informed weekly on his progress of recovery_ Thanks again to Brother Henry for bringing a large tray of delicious dougfnnuts to the dance Sat-

It was proposed to send get well cards 'written personally by all members to our sick friends and members.

A roll call was then made of all officers by Brother Secretary Pavelka.

The minutes of the last meeting were then read by Brother Secretary Pavelka.

The kitchen was very much in need of another coffee maker. It was bought with the proceeds from the tickets sold by the Youth Club members on our annual picnic in. May. 'loo, planning for a picnic "eat outs' ie in p1-ogress at the present time for the Youth Club. It was decided it will be held at Fort Parker and preferably during the week due to the over crowded conditions of the facilities of the park on week-ends. You will be notified in time on date and you parents are also invited. The refredhments charges will be made by the Youth Club so let's Il go and enjoy ourselves as guests of the Youth Club. Too, be sure and come to the sewing classes held every Wednesday night at 7:30 at the Hall under toe direction of our Youth Leader Sister 2ialman. You boys come too, as there is en interesting project in store for you.

Fraternally yours, Sister Norma Pavelka Reporter WEST, TEXAS Dear Girls: This week everybody here at West who has a garden is, I quote "Blue in the Face" shelling blackeye peas. These rains have brought on a prolific crop of them and 11:cy are being shelled and put in c bags for the deep freezers. Besides the sore thumbs from ripping open the lehg pods, it's tedious work; work which piss to bsd with one at night; they all shell peas in linen' sleep. So the next time yon turn your nose up on a mess of fresh bla pkeye peas, remember the hours of toil it took someone to shell the things. Hut, they are good eating.

Superstition 'has it that they bring "good luck" for the whole year to one who eats them the first meal in the new year. We tend to scoff at superstition, nevertheless, you'd be surprised how many folks really seek blackeye peas on New Year's Eve for the first meal: even the grocers have specials oh them at that time.

I think most of us dO this purely as an American tradition, like we do cranberries at Turkey time. (Thanksgiving) or Christmas. Perhaps 'way back our Pilgrito fathers and mothers only had

VESTNIK— WEST. TEXAS the dried blackeye peas left in the larder around the coming of the New Year, and since they are inherently prolific, used the saying about bringing good luck for the small fry who turned up their noses at them, as children are want to do. Anyway, blackeye peas are as American tradition as hamburgers.

Reminds me of the time my beloved Mother had a time with her new oven.

It tended to burn her kolaches in her kolach pans. Only the bottoms of the kolaches were a bit darker than our delicate tastes fancied, we simply would riot eat them, picking over the less brown ones. Finally She learned how to cope with her oven and with us children.

She told us girls that if we ever wanted to have rosy cheeks that we had to eat the dark kolaches. Gullible childhood! we believed it. The painter who was up on on the ladder painting our house, a Czech, doubled up in laughter and almost fell of his ladder He was the one who years later told the tale of our burnt kolaches. Motther never did. We believed her all those years!

I passed our bakery here at West this a.m. and the aroma of their kolaches permeated the whole neighborhood. How good they smelled baking early in the cnorning. Those of us who don't have

Wednesday, July a car to ride in, walk to town early in the cool of the mornings to get what we need and get home before the day gets too hot. So, those baking kolaohes brought to mind doughnuts — many of you wilt be baking them. Then the thought occurred to me that I should pass on to you the "trick" one of our beloved Czech mothers and grandmothers, the late M Bozena Jez of Dallas, had in _ doughnuts. Her lovely granddaughter,, Mrs. Martha Vrla, told it one night at a Youth Leaders Meeting here at West when they were making plans for the recent Youth Activity Day which was held in Dallas.

To get back to the doughuhts, she used three tablespoons of good whiskey in her batter, to keep the doughnuts from absorbing so much fat while frying. That's a pood point to remember. Some folks use a touch of vinegar. We're grateful to Mrs. Vrla for this tip, I'm sure our cooks will like to remember it. It will be a living memorial to that good Mrs . Jez, who gave that area so k yany ',ours of pleasure in her Czech plays. Both she and Mr. Jez were excellent actors and they appeared many times tee, stlier on the boards in comedy plays which rocked the spectators for weeks afterwards.

Those Czech plays ore becomin g: a rarity

Wednesday, July 19,1961 !and they were so much fun, clean and so realistic to human beings in their everyday living.

Another "trick" our Czech cooks employed in making potroasts, and that was to smear their roast with a button of fresh garlic. To get the subtle flavor, one mu,sn't be conscious that there is garlic in it. Just once over lightly. Potroasts with their delicious gravies were a mainstay in our families . The meat didn't shrink as much as in baking or (frying, contained less fat, for it could be spooned off when done,just before making the thickening of flour, and with dumplings as an accompanyment, was a complete meal. A salad with this conabination was "company" fare.

V ST 1 K â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WEST, TEXAS winter bone eet Since artificial flowers are the rags now, your garden flowers will be all the more precious because they are from your garden. Won't it be fun making flower arrangements later on.

The pnngent horsemint many of you have growin g in your cow pastures also make good winter bouquet fillers. Many city florists gather them, spray them with calcium base coloring or with gold paint which comes in cans pressurized like our fly sprays, etc. They too, could be Silica gelled as are your floweis.

Hedge clippings, evergreen clippings, and many other "Greenery" can be prepared. Some florists have small branches minus the leaves painted various colors to use in the arrangements. Let yourâ&#x20AC;˘ imagination soar. I've seen canna lilly leaves, preserved and then gilded as a background l o a ,male flower arrangement which was stunning.

Strana 21 Guess I've run over again, so until next time, stay beautiful and if driving do drive carefully. In this hot weather even the tires on your car suffer and if driving for a long period of time, can blow out or cause blisters in your tubeless tires and thus ruining your tires. Your Editor and I ruined two such new tires once coming from San Angelo on a torrid day.

My best to you all, I am Fraternally yours, The Editor's wife LODGE NO. 25 ENNIS Our July 9th Meeting wos called tC order by Vice President Al Gurecky. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved as read.

The building committee Was authorized to have the construction on the north side Of the national Hall started as soon

The zinnas in my garden are at their prime: the colors beyond words. My mother in Dallas gave me a start of them. She had tried to grow many exotic kinds of zinnas from expensive seed, only to have a handful elf flowers, so she started to save her own zinna seed of the varieties she wanted. She had a gallon bucket of the seed, of which I got a goodly share. I planted them and they were so beautiful that I too, started saving seed. As soon as I dug up my potatoes, I spread the rest of my left over Anna seed into the row. Now I have a row of zinnas which will start blooming by the time my others have quit.

Now, in the August issue of the American Home, I see where a person can dry these blossoms, as well as roses, and keep their freshness and original color for our winter bouquets. They suggest a chemical sold in drugstores "Silica Gel." To five pounds of the 28-200 mesh, a white crystal as it is called, you purchase one pound of 6-16 mesh Tel Tale SilicaGel, similar to salt crystals but blue. Mix one-fourth pound of the blue to the five pounds white silica gel and pick your flower heads only as in zinnas, roses and leaves, place them in a container with a tight lid, pour the mixture around the flowers so that they touch every part and store in a dark place one week. The blue crystals turn completely pink when all the moisture is absorbed from the flower. Then gently (for the flowers are brittle) shake out the crystals, store in largemouth containers with three tablespoons of the Blue Silica in In the above picture Vestnik's readers see sister Clara Dejl of Seaton, Youth the bottom and store for winter bouquets in a dark place so the colors will Director of District Two, presenting the District Queen, lovely Sister Dorothy Mae Zurovetz and her handsome escort Donald Groneein with a bouquet of red not fade.

Strana 25 really had a lot of fun. The day was well planned, all but the weather. We seem to have the luck of having rain each' Youth Day, so we have to say it must be in the planning each year, too. The day 'started off so, messy but the afternoon turned out to be pretty and sunny, and no one would 'have dreamed it was so bad early that day. After all the day was very successful. I would like to thank everyone at Lodge 130 and anyone who had a part in planning the Youth Activity Day for us. Each year I look forward to attending the Youth Activity Day and participating in the contest that are offered to us on this ,day.

I am a little late with my report about our trip to Dallas but the time is flying by so fast before we know it school will be starting. Sunday my family and I attended the meeting held at Elk Lodge No. 35. It was also a rainy day but I ain proud we visited with them. The Youth Club members of Lodge 35 had on display some hand work they are working' on and everything was 'just beautiful.

Mrs Zalman, the Youth Leader of Lodge 35 was very nice to invite us out to their hall on Wednesday night when they have heir handicraft classes. I would like very much to attend some Wednesday and learn how. Another thing I enjoyed was the way the Youth Club held their meeting.

• ( SE'CRETARY OF LABOR SPEAKS ON YOUTH PROGRAM Te Youth Employment Opportunities Act of 1961, as proposed by the Administration, was explained in testimony given

by Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Golde berg before the Subcommittee on General Labor Of the House Committee on Education and Labor.

"The primary pm-pose of this bill," the Secretary testified, "is to acknowledge Federal responsibility for finding some solutions to the urgent need of young people in this country for training and useful employment to equip them for productive lives in our modern and fast changing society."

The Secretary pointed out the number of young men and women between 16 and 25 who will enter the labor force in the 1960's will amount to "a staggering 26 ,million."

"We acknowledge in our Manpower Development and Training bill that our adult workers need assistance in meeting the occupational demands of modern day society," said Secretary Goldberg. ::It is obvious that our young people are even more in need of help.

"The magnitude of the problem is such that the individual and his family cannot meet it unless the national government assists our local communities in developing ways in which our young people can get the work experience and training needed to acquire , the necessary skills."

The Youth Opportunities Act, as proposed by the Administration, would embrace three separate pilot programs: 1. A camp-type program similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps.

2. A public emplcyment and training program, largely in public service jobs, participated in and partially financed by state and local govern vents and instrumentalities.

3. An one-The-job training program designed to enlist the cooperation of many different interested groups who have an interest and- stake in job-related skill development.

Affixed the 20th day of June the year of 1961.
